jacob + sweet 35 = perfectly imperfect portraits

So this is a project i was inspired to do by another photographer ... shot entirely with my Lensbaby Composer & Sweet 35 I wanted to: 

1. get to know my sweet 35 a little more

2. capture my son "in the moment".

As {portrait} photographers I feel as if i focus too much on you know having the image in focus than the moment itself so we loose something in the story telling. I wanted it to be more about him than me. & the sweet 35 was the perfect way of doing that. Manually focusing on a 2 year old boy who refused to sit still is a nightmare {try it ... i dare you} ... but it sums up so much of who he is. 

So on Tuesday ... my son's second birthday ... it seemed like the perfect way of capturing his day. I focused solely on him at home, in the zoo {mama & Jacob's big day out} & then in the evening when Dada came home & we opened presents & ate cake. 

So apologies for my inability to "edit" photos of my son but i hope you enjoy our wonderful day together ...
